THAT Mr.. Frederick De Belleville is
again on the market is an announce
ment that will not surprise the profess
sion at large. Mr.. De Belleville is a
good leading actor, and large man
with very low forehead and most
emotional gizzard. Had Mr.. De Belle
ville's walks of life been cast beyond
the sphere of woman tenderness, there
is no T. ling what he may have been.
As it is, he is generally in row, and
each public mention dragS some wo-
mans name down TO ignOmi " ard
shame. A friend of MIR. De Belleyille
remarks that "he has been unfortn-
nate So have the ladies of his choice.
In this last little affair, however, Mr..
De Belleville seems to be the only one
hurt. Miss Rose Coghlan, whose lead
ing man he was, has discharged him.
Coghlan selected her supporting com
pany with reference to their profess
siOnal ability, and to work upon the
stage After the company had been Sc
cured, Mr. De Belleville requested Miss
Coghlan to add to its number a lady
who could only play minor parts, but
who was a particular friend of his.
Miss Coghlan did not need lady for
minor parts, and espec ally declined the
companionship of particular friend.
To quote her own words:
81 could not receive her into the company,
because it 5 already full, and besides, to
anyone acquainted with the mans history
it is unnecessary to say that there were
Other objections to such an arrangement
From that time forth Mr.. De Belleville has
lost no opportunity to make himself dis
agreeable, and the trouble finally culmiu-
ated week ago Friday, during a perform
ance of The Ledy of Lyons. when, lost to
all sense of professional cour esy, he swore
at me aud in>ulted me on the stage. Of
cou Sc l could not allow him to remain in
the company"
Mr.. De Belleville is again a martyr to
his affections and will pose in his ten
der and mpathv-invitirg sorrow,
until a new engagement presents new
fields, and the tears of to-day become
the smiles of tomorrow. The exact
and offending language has not been
betrayed, but as years of Miss Coghlan' s
life was passed on sta ge where a gentle
''demIue" was quite good form, an
eruption that was considered by that
lady as of such grave importance must
have been downright wicked and i'm
polite. Letter.

A PLAIN CASE.

Gov. Martin in his message to the
state legislature took very strong
grounds against allowing any more
bonds to be voted to railroads to as
sist in their construction. In his pa
per. the Atchison Champion, however.
he seems to take "a different view of
things when his own city's property is
involved. As citizen of Atchison
this is the way he looks at it:
The bond election now pending is a
purely business matter. 1t is not a
moral or religious OF political question
in the least. The only question the
voter should ask himself is, "Win ii
pay"

Judge Gresham.

Many interesting incidents are told
of Gresham's career.
On the bench he is an excellent Judge
of human nature. and seldom mistakes
his man. In the trial of criminal cases
he invariably has a private talk with
! the offender. He questions a culprit
closely, and quickly detects any exten-
uating circumstances in his case. Upon
one occasion a former citizen of high
standing was tried and convicted in
his court for perpetrating frauds in the
family were present, and the scene was
a sad one. The jury returned verdict
of guilty. Gresham called the prisoner

ence upon him. said kindly:
Ito home, and spend the night with
your family. and report to me a: 10
O'Clock tomorrow. You may maY.not
see your home again for long time. -
This extraordinary action caused
mach comment and some criticism. but
the guilty man did not break the courts
confidence. He was on hand promptly,
and was sentenced to two years at hard
labor in the Michigan City prison.
Without exception newspaper men are
stanch friends of Gresham His uni
form courtesy and frank disposition win
their friendship. His outspoken mag
ner in politics has naturally created
some hostility toward him in party
ranks. and his success and greatness
have in like manner provoked jealous
les. Gresham. however. can not Justly
be accused of smallness of character nor
charged with doing an unmanlY act
His contempt for things Insincere and
for petty politics is pronounced. The
r.fkS
resent a personal fling at Gresham.
Even those whose first choice for presi-
dent is Harrison denounce the warfare
that has been begun against Gresham,
One day Judge Gresham was listening
to a tedious argument in an important
suit which was attracting public atten-
ton. A reporter of an Indianapolis
paper was awaiting the verdict. The
hour was late and the reporter had
many other calls to make. He grew inn
patient, and finally, during halt in the
proceedings, he slipped up and whisper
ed 10 the court:
Say. judge. how are you going to
decide this case?''
The judge looked surprised, but re-
warded the young mans nerve by re-
plying:
well. Charley, l am going to de-
eide 1t for the defendant, but you must
not say anything until do it,

he was hearing D railroad case in

the door and stepped into circle of
distinguished attorneys. such as Senator
Mcdonald. the late ex-Gov. Baker, and
Abram w. Hendricks. The Judge greet
ed the intruder kindly, beckoned him
to advance. and stopped the case long
enough to explain its nature. The re-
porter was about Withdrawing. when
the Judge said: Don't be in q hurry,

Women Can Afford to Remain

The common talk is among young

main very poor. This kind of twaddle
is so much in vogue that it viii probably
